China's technological prowess is undeniable. By investing more strategically in public relations, it can further solidify its position as a global tech leader. The level of innovation and advancement in the country is truly impressive. I have always maintained that every business needs a strong PR strategy to reach a wider audience. WhirlSpot Media offers tailored solutions to help emerging brands and established players stand out and succeed in frontier markets. Let's chat! 📩 One big question: Do you think China is the undisputed leader in technology today?

Many Chinese traditional companies or manufacturers do not prioritize building a presence on overseas social media for several reasons: 1.Market Focus: Their primary market is often domestic, with platforms like WeChat, Weibo, and Douyin dominating. 2.Cultural and Language Barriers: Understanding and engaging with Western audiences requires significant effort and resources. 3.Regulatory Differences: Concerns about data security and navigating different regulations can be deterrents. However, as globalization increases, more Chinese companies might recognize the potential benefits of engaging with international audiences to drive growth and brand recognition.

🌏🏗️ Asia's growth story is unfolding fast. In a recent speech, Alvin Tan, Singapore's Minister of State for Trade & Industry, Culture, Community & Youth, and Board Member of the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), delivered some powerful messages. He reminded us that Asia’s economic potential is not only on the rise, but also shaping the future. With the region expected to grow 4.5% in 2024 and contribute two-thirds of global growth, the opportunities are immense. 📣Mr Tan called on leaders in the financial sector to “help play a bridging role, to facilitate better understanding of the dynamics of working with Asian clients or how to navigate Asian markets.” But doing this well, he pointed out, requires “an in-depth understanding of Asia’s complex and diverse operating environment.” His words really resonated with us at #AsiaVerify.

Visual messaging is more important than ever. Comms professionals too often default to the snappy line or the grab quote. What’s commonly overlooked today is the pictorial message whether it’s the surrounds, the background or the presentation. Where and what you are can be as important as what you say.

While 5G adoption in Asia Pacific is outpacing other parts of the world in terms of growth, by 2030 the region will be made up of 5G "haves" and "have-nots", with global leaders but also laggards.

The beginning of a stealthiest bull market ever? Following my post on Tencent yesterday (which was gladly picked up by Bloomberg), I was looking through a fairly large number of charts on our China investments and some non-holding companies, the charts looked similar and most were break-up charts. Below I sampled 6 sectors: Midea (Consumer Electronics), Tencent Music (Media entertainment), Trip.com (Tourism), PetroChina (Oil), China Mobile (Telecom), CGN (Utility). There are a whole lot of others I couldn't include for lack of space. Granted China Mobile is in the US black list and hence the media silence but I like to bet that most of you don't even hear about this, Petrochina is the now the second largest market cap in China!
